Building Microservices with Node.js

Venture into microservices with Node.js, uncovering step-by-step roadmaps, insightful demonstrations, and cutting-edge techniques to build robust web applicationsKey FeaturesExplore microservices architecture and implement it using Node.js for robust web applicationsFollow clear, practical examples and real-world use cases to apply your knowledge and build your skillsExcel in the world of software development and tackle complex challenges with confidencePurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionDo you want to immerse yourself in the world of microservices? Building Microservices with Node.js will guide you through migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices. With this book, you ll acquire a deep understanding of microservices architecture and apply it confidently in your web application projects. As you progress, you ll be guided through the process of creating a simple application and incorporating the Node.js framework into it, along with its commonly used libraries. You ll learn how the framework operates, how to configure it, and how to develop handlers for the web framework. Furthermore, you ll explore how to deploy your application to a production server while going through the intricacies of JavaScript and Node.js. Later chapters will show you how to approach microservices in Node.js, implement them effectively, and integrate RESTful APIs. Additionally, you ll gain insights into service-to-service authentication and authorization and learn how to work with databases and caching. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topic, you ll get to grips with monitoring and logging in microservices with Node.js. By the end of this microservices book, you ll be able to develop a web app using the Node.js framework, configure it, extend it using libraries available for this framework, and launch it using best practices.What you will learnDesign domain-oriented microservices using domain-driven design (DDD)Understand collaboration techniques for inter-microservice communication and learn how to design an API gatewayAutomate microservice integration and deploymentSplit a monolith safely into microservices and understand how to test microservices effectivelyUse and implement microservices in Kubernetes and Docker environmentsGet to grips with best practices for maintaining microservices at scaleWho this book is forThis microservices and Node.js book is for backend developers, full-stack developers, software architects, and frontend developers who want to venture into the world of backend development and extend their capabilities. A fundamental understanding of the JavaScript ecosystem will be helpful but not necessary, as this book will cover the essentials of backend development, JavaScript programming, and Node.js.
